I think I made it so that Katniss is a junior in this story and Gale is a senior, maybe a junior, I don't know. That would make Prim an eighth grader…Perfect.
Chapter 10 – Peeta's POV
"Okay Katniss, who's car is this?" The girl with blond hair asks, I'm assuming it is Katniss's sister.
"Prim, just get in already!" She gave in and got into the back seat.
"Who's this?"
"I'm Peeta. You must be Prim." I held out a hand, but she didn't shake it. "Katniss."
"Oh, right. Peeta is my new boyfriend."
"Yay! I told you to look presentable! But you forgot me on Friday."
"I was with Peeta. We had a problem with Gale." She looked at Peeta's face and seemed confused.
"What's wrong with his face? Other than that, I approve."
"Gale, beat me up because I told him not to push her on the floor."
"Oh my God, Katniss are you okay?"
"I'm fine Prim."
"Your hair is also a mess." She paused and looked at Peeta. "Yours too. Oh, and by the way Katniss, those clothes are way too big for you I swear they're-" She stopped and her eyes opened wider. "Holy shit! You two had-"
Peeta and I exchanged looks. Prim laid down on the seat and crawled up into a ball. "Katniss, please tell me you didn't!"
"I-I-" Katniss couldn't say it.
"Prim, I know you think it's weird, but-" I didn't want to say it either.
"It's so weird Peeta! Please tell me you didn't get her pregnant!"
Katniss's face went bright red. She opened her mouth to talk. "Prim, please just listen to me, please?" Prim sat up, she had been crying. "Prim, I'm not getting pregnant. And if you tell mom about this, I, I don't know what I'll do, but you won't like it."
"Katniss, how long have you known Peeta?"
"First day of school."
"Oh my God Katniss! Why?"
"Prim, I don't know how to explain this to you! You're only thirteen!"
I laid my head on the steering wheel and tried to drown out the noise. They went at it, Katniss explaining why, Prim thinking I got her pregnant, you're too young. "Shut up both of you!" I said in a raised tone. They listened. "Katniss: Prim just knows these things from school and she was worried about you." I looked to Prim. She looked terrified. "Prim: I would never, ever hurt your sister in any way. I know we just met, but you know how love at first sight works?" I softened my voice a little. "Sometimes people just meet. Okay?" I seemed to have calmed her down. "Now both of you: this will not be spoken of again when all three of us are all together. Okay?"
"Thank you," Prim sighed. Katniss just nodded. I started the car and started driving. "Katniss, Peeta?" She asked. "I know you said not to talk about it, but I just want to know one thing."
"What?" Katniss looked quite annoyed.
"Do you feel better now that you two did it?" I was shocked. This didn't sound like the thing that would come out of a thirteen year old.
I answered her first. "Actually, yes."
Katniss waited a few seconds. She mumbled, "Yeah."
"That's all I wanted to know. And I won't tell mom, you two are going to tell her yourselves." I slammed on the brakes when we got to a stop sign.
"What?" I yelled.
"When we get home, you two are going to tell mom that you two had sex."
Katniss turned around. "No we are not, Prim!"
"She's going to find out eventually, might as well tell her!"
I spoke up. "She's right. Katniss, when does your mom get home from work?"
"She should be home now."
"Okay."
I looked at the clock. It was nine thirty by the time we got to their house. When we opened the door, their mom was inside pacing by the kitchen. When she realized we were there, she threw her arms around Katniss and Prim. "Oh my goodness! My girls are home!" She glared at me. "And a boy too. Prim, go to bed. Katniss, in the kitchen, right now." It just got awkward again.
"Mom, before you say anything, I'm going to explain." Katniss blurted out. I walked into the doorway of the kitchen.
"No, let me ask a few questions. First." Katniss rolled her eyes. "Who is this?"
"Peeta, my boyfriend."
"Why was he in your bed last night?"
"Gale beat him up and I took care of his face because it was bleeding."
"Why did you run off this morning?"
"Because he kissed me and I didn't know what to do." I blushed, but tried to keep myself together. "Then I went to Gale's house and talked to him, but Peeta followed. We all went to IHOP for breakfast."
"Then what happened, and don't say nothing because you are in his clothes."
"We walked back to his house and watched a movie."
"Then…" Katniss started crying and tried to run off. I held her down and we sat at the table. She resisted, but eventually gave up and rested her head on the table. "Katniss, I'm waiting."
Katniss didn't want to talk, I could tell. "Then we had sex, okay? You happy you know?" I shouted. I propped my head up with my hands on the table.
"Oh, Katniss!"
"Mom, I'm sorry!" Her voice was muffled by her hair and the table.
"Peeta, please tell me you used a condom!"
"That was the first thing I thought of, Mrs. Everdeen."
She sighed. "That makes it a little better." It was silent for a while. "Peeta, when did you two meet?"
"First day of school."
"Oh geez, I was hoping you would say when she was dating Gale. That just made it worse again." She paused. "Were you two drinking?"
"No!" Katniss shot up. I got a full view of her red face. She looked miserable.
"Does Prim know about this?"
"Yeah, she figured it out on her own." I said.
"Peeta, tell her what you told Prim."
"Okay." I took in a deep breath. "So, Mrs. Everdeen, do you believe in love at first sight?"
"I don't know, but I know about it."
"Well, that's how we feel right now. If it weren't for that, I would wait for her. I-" I stopped and looked at Katniss and tried to continue. "I-"
ooooooh! it was hard to write the last part, thinking of ways for them to tell her mom, she would be furious!
Review, next chapter coming!
